How long is the best time to practice yoga?

Yoga is now the preferred method for many office workers to exercise and cultivate their sentiments, and yoga is suitable for a wide range of people, from children to the elderly. Many people practice yoga to shape their bodies, and persistent yoga practice can maintain the body from the inside out, resulting in a series of phenomena such as improved skin conditions. So, here we will introduce to you how long it is best to practice yoga each time.

The first one: two hours is enough, and it is best to start at 6 o'clock in the morning. Everything comes back to life in the morning, which is consistent with the concept of yoga originating from nature. The morning is also very quiet, and the various functions of the human body are slowly recovering. It is the best time to practice yoga. There is no strict age limit for yoga, but if you are older, some movements cannot be done as easily as young people, so you should be careful not to force yourself, take it step by step, and do it slowly!

The second one is more comprehensive:

As long as your physical and mental condition allows, there is no time limit for yoga practice. You can practice at any time of the day, at any time that is convenient for you. The key is to persevere. Early morning on an empty stomach is the best time to practice yoga, clearing out waste from the intestines and bladder. The best time is before 8 a.m., when nature gathers the most energy and it is also the quietest time of the day. Our minds are clear and undisturbed, and we can concentrate on the practice. At this time, you are most likely to deeply experience the connection and coordination between body, mind and spirit, as well as the charm of yoga as an "art of body, mind and spirit". With day-to-day accumulation, you will soon feel your own progress. This regular practice can free you from the chaotic and disorderly life and help you develop good living habits of keeping to a regular schedule. As a result, your physical and mental health improves, and sticking with your practice becomes a matter of course. You can also practice in the evening or at other times, but make sure you practice on an empty stomach or after completely digesting the food. Generally, it is three to four hours after a meal, and you can practice half an hour after drinking liquid food or beverages. Practicing breathing and meditation exercises when you wake up in the morning and before going to bed at night will bring you refreshment and a restful and relaxing sleep. If possible, it is best to practice at the same time every day. Of course, in addition to regular morning self-practice, you can also attend yoga classes 2-3 times a week at a yoga club according to your own time to improve your self-practice level. Infuse freshness and fulfillment into your life, so that you can achieve more balance in life and psychology. These experiences will also become the motivation for you to persist in yoga practice.

More specific practice time regulations are: practice in the morning before the sun comes out, practice at noon when the sun is overhead, practice in the evening after sunset, and practice in the early morning at 12 o'clock at night. Different contents should be practiced at different times, such as practicing more asanas in the morning, practicing more meditation at noon and in the evening, and so on.

When practicing yoga, the body should remain normal and quiet. If you feel any discomfort or illness at this time, try not to practice and never exceed the capacity of your body. For office workers who work from nine to five, it is good to make full and rational use of scattered time and break the whole into small parts, even if it is just to do one sex position. Use 10-15 minutes to practice yoga breathing and meditation when you wake up in the morning and before going to bed at night; use yoga postures to move your head, neck, and shoulders during work breaks before lunch and afternoon tea, and use tables and chairs to do some twists and stretches on the spot. Regularly attending weekend yoga classes can also help you stick to your practice time. If you want to improve faster, practice in the following order: 1. Regulate your breathing for more than 5 minutes each time; 2. Warm up for 10 minutes to prevent physical injury; 3. After mastering the breathing pattern, practice the core postures once each time for more than 30 minutes; 4. Finally, relax and rest for more than 15 minutes. When you first start practicing, you can go to a professional yoga club to practice in order to get the guidance of professional teachers and the atmosphere of group practice in a classroom.

After that, you can practice by yourself, at home or in the office, and you can control your own time. It only takes more than twenty minutes a day to see results. The amazing thing is that after practicing yoga, many people feel refreshed, their thinking becomes sharper, and their work efficiency improves as a result. The key to practicing yoga is persistence. 20 minutes a day is much more effective than practicing 2 hours a week. The practice time should be determined according to the physical condition of each practitioner. For those who are just starting out, it can be a few minutes or dozens of minutes. As the practice time and frequency of practice increase, you can increase the practice time appropriately. However, this does not mean that the longer the yoga practice time, the better. You should listen to your body's feelings and determine the practice time based on your body's reactions. You can also adjust the practice time flexibly, but try to choose a time when you will not be disturbed to avoid being distracted by external factors and being unable to concentrate on practicing. After practicing yoga, you will find that your life will become healthier and more fulfilling, and these good feelings will strengthen your determination and confidence to persist in the practice.

The third method is what I think is more pertinent:

The practice of yoga should be based on your own physical condition. In the initial stage of practice, it is best to follow a yoga teacher. If you follow a teacher, you will not be able to correct your practice methods and postures, which will easily lead to injury and giving up. Mental practice is even less effective. 1. Get up early in the morning, clean your teeth and face, do some morning yoga, and be grateful to the sun for bringing us light, cleansing the toxins and darkness accumulated throughout the night, purifying the mind, and slowly filling the body with energy to greet a new day. (The suitable practice time is 15 to 30 minutes. Too long time will cause the body to be too tired) 2. On a sunny morning, do a yoga session. You can increase the strength a little, squeeze fat, slim limbs, stretch muscles, strengthen the body's strength, speed up the peristalsis of the large intestine, and achieve the effect of detoxification and weight loss. (Suitable practice time is 1 to 2 hours) 3. Doing a yoga exercise in the afternoon can effectively eliminate spring sleepiness, autumn fatigue, and summer naps, allowing the body to complete the exercise very smoothly and naturally in a very relaxed and soft state, achieving the purpose of balancing the internal organs, correcting the spinal shape, and promoting nighttime bowel movements, helping us achieve the effect of weight loss. (Suitable practice time is 1 to 2 hours) 4. Doing yoga in the evening can effectively shrink the stomach, increase the thickness of the stomach wall, restore the health of the stomach, and let the body consciously reduce food intake at night, helping us achieve the effect of weight loss on a healthy basis. (Suitable practice time is 1 to 2 hours) 5. Yoga practice in the evening can make our body and mind in a quiet and peaceful place, relax the brain, release stress, ease tense emotions, eliminate physical fatigue of the day, sort out sleep, and help us slowly have a complete and high-quality sleep. (The suitable practice time is 45 minutes to 1 hour. Too long will lead to mental tension, active thinking, physical fatigue, and difficulty falling asleep)

We have introduced three methods of practicing yoga above. You should have the correct answer to the question of how long is the best time to practice yoga each time. Indeed, practicing yoga first requires the correct method. Secondly, we need to determine how to make a practice plan based on our own situation. For some office workers who do not have much free time, they need to practice little by little.
